"The U.S. Attorney’s Office has convened a grand jury as part of a federal probe into the steroid scandal, and the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office opened a separate inquiry last month. Subpoenas were issued by Assistant State Attorney Michael Von Samft last month.

“This is going to make a lot of people start sweating now,” said former Miami federal prosecutor David Weinstein, who is not involved in the case. “This was baseball’s dirty little secret. Now someone else is looking at their dirty little secret.”

Is the grand jury investigating MLB's actions such as those alleged in the article? What sorts of indictments could there be--witness tampering and so forth?

In the course of ferreting out more information, one of baseball’s investigators developed a romantic relationship with a Biogenesis nurse. Rodriguez’s lawsuit identifies the investigator as Dan Mullin. The woman, who according to her Facebook page now works at Mount Sinai Hospital, did not return several messages left by the Herald. She also did not answer the door at her home.

Or it could mean they've shot their wad, and have nothing else to leak. How much new media juice could MLB produce by whispering "Remember our airtight case? Upon further reflection, it's really, really, REALLY airtight"?

Or, not. Honestly, there's no way to know. Anyone who thinks that either MLB or A-Rod are telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth must be using substances a lot stronger than Biogenesis could cook up.
